I Timothy 3:16

Great is the mystery,
The godly-fashioned plan
That God should stoop from heaven on high
To take the form of man!

In flesh he was made known,
In spirit justified,
By angels he was seen;

Among the nations shown,
Believed on far and wide,
In glory raised again.

This is the solid ground
That cannot sway or lurch,
The pillar on which God did found
His living house, the Church:

In flesh he was made known,
In spirit justified,
By angels he was seen;

Among the nations shown,
Believed on far and wide,
In glory raised again.

Apostates well may come;
This creed they will deny:
God, grant that it may bring us home,
Triumphant o’er the lie!

In flesh he was made known,
In spirit justified,
By angels he was seen;

Among the nations shown,
Believed on far and wide,
In glory raised again.

We soon shall see your face,
And while the ages roll,
We’ll sing this story of your grace,
Emblazoned on the scroll:

In flesh he was made known,
In spirit justified,
By angels he was seen;

Among the nations shown,
Believed on far and wide,
In glory raised again.
